Iced Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookies

For todays cookie crawl cookie is going to be Iced Oatmeal Gingerbread Cookies. I found this recipe on TikTok from KrollsKorner and I had to test them out so let’s get started!

Ingredients:

Cookies-

  • 1½ cups quick-cooking oats (1-minute oats)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp. fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp. molasses

Glaze-

  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 Tbsp. whole milk
  • 1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Whisk dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, ginger, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk to evenly distribute the spices.
  2. Combine butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and molasses, whisking until fully combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  5. Chill the dough: Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up the dough. This helps the cookies bake thicker and chewier.
  6. Preheat the oven: While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop and roll: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake: Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until edges are set and centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.

These are so good, but since I am an icing ghoulie, I made sure to make a little bit more and add more to the cookies I planned on eating.
